All NYC airports should be up and running to full capacity in the next 2 days. Since these were the hardest hit airports, the others should open sooner. I don't think Hurricane Sandy will have any impact on TAR22.

Let's remember that wishlists on where AR22 will go should not be placed on this thread.

What is appropriate for speculation is when AR22 will start. Historic fall-started Amazing Races typically start late November or the extreme beginning of December. We need to be vigilant for the entire month of November, as World Race Productions could be ready to go sooner than the historic date range.

As interesting as it would be to see Pakistan, I think there is no way they will go there. It is just too dangerous for TAR. (Especially considering the shooting of the 15 year old girl last week that is making global headlines...)

Especially as they have said early November here on the casting site:

online application (from this site), home video and photos are all due on April 25th at 12pm (noon) PDT.

These will be considered for the 2012-2013 casting season. Calls will most likely go out in June and July, 2012

The filming dates for the season we are casting is early November, 2012.

Now, it is totally possible that Sandy may have forced a few changes ...or not.

But I would take them at face value...and be ready from now on.

based on the team gender ratios since TAR12, it seems as though our line up will be :

- 3 F/F - 3 M/M- 5 M/F

after a lack of F/F domination in the past three seasons (the twinnies could change that), we will probably get one more F/F team, there's no way we will get 4 unless casting is feeling generous so here they are :

- mother/daughter- friends connected by an occupation- friends connected by an occupation

after the abundance of M/M teams in the past three seasons making it far into the race, i'm sure we will get cut down to 3, or they'll keep it 4, but i doubt it, so here they are :

- father/son- friends connected by an occupation- friends connected by an occupation

that leaves us with 5 M/F teams! here they are :

- father/daughter - a couple- a couple- a couple- a couple

we will get more 'ordinary' teams this seasonand out of all of these teams, two of them will be African-Americanthat's the end of my cast predicting!

Phul was retweeting a PSA that Air New Zealand will be using on its flights concerning passenger safety briefings, that all airlines do before takeoff. Peter Jackson and the cast of The Hobbit donated their time to help make the PSA.(I saw this on an entertainment industry blog a few days ago when it was released.)I don't think it's a hint of anything; Phil has made promo spots for Air New Zealand in the past; and he flies on it regularly between New Zealand and California.
